Geoff Coughlin – Editor
I can’t remember a time when I haven’t been massively enthusiastic about aircraft and scale modelling. My Gran bought me an Airfix 1:72nd Spitfire when I was 7 and, well I’ve never looked back – apart from the 12 years from my teens to my 20s when I did all the usual other stuff.
About 25 years ago my good friend Angus Creighton asked me if I would be interested in doing a review for Tamiya Model Magazine International and that started what has been a long track record of reviewing for TMMI and Model Airplane International (MAI)
Joining the IPMS (International Plastic Modellers Society) and starting two successful IPMS Branches, has been a fantastic experience and very rewarding. Joining a club was the best thing I ever did to improve my scale model skills and I recommend it to anyone.
BOOKS
I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to write a number of books on scale modelling and aviation-related subjects.

Three in Thirteen – Published Casemate. I am co-author with Roger Dunsford, a former RAF Vulcan pilot.
Three in Thirteen is the story of Joe Singleton, a Mosquito night fighter pilot in World War II, who shot down three German Junkers Ju88/188 aircraft over Hull in 1944. Traces his journey from beginner to celebrated expert, and the early days of radar technology with which he learned to excel.
